People were making a front and backend web app in half a day using Ruby on Rails way before LLMs were ever a thing, and their code quality was still much better than yours!

So vibe coding, sure you can create some shitty thing which WORKS, but once it becomes bigger than a small shitty thing, it becomes harder and harder to work with because the code is so terrible when you're pure vibe coding.

A few people were doing that.

With LLMs, anyone can do that. And more.

It's important to frame the scenario correctly. I repeat: I created everything in an afternoon just for giggles, and I challenged myself to write zero lines of code.

You're somehow blindly labelling a hypothetical output as "shitty", which only serves to show your bias. In the meantime, anyone who is able to churn out a half-functioning MVP in an afternoon is praised as a 10x developer. There's a contrast in there, where the same output is described as shitty or outstanding depending on who does it.
